MODERN DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT METHODS OF İMPACTED CENTRAL İNCİSOR.
Abstract
In modern dental practice, a multidisciplinary approach is required in the management of complex cases, i.e. orthodontists, oral surgeons and periodontists must work together. One of the most common dental anomalies is the missing of anterior teeth, which can cause phonetic and socio-aesthetic problems. Late eruption or impaction of central incisors can be caused by various pathologic changes and trauma. Late orthodontic intervention leads to more severe anatomical and functional problems.
Treatment of impacted central incisors depends on their location in the jawbone, as well as on the availability of free space in the dental arch. Dolphin Imaging 11.9 software improves the efficiency of orthodontic treatment by analyzing the facial profile. If a tooth's root is fully developed or positioned unfavorably, a combined approach of surgical and orthodontic intervention is often necessary to achieve its proper alignment within the dental arch. The distalization of posterior teeth, when performed with controlled force application, enhances both aesthetic and functional outcomes. This interdisciplinary strategy is crucial in ensuring optimal treatment success.
